F-1 has to do with sediment in the bottom of your tub or a loose water pressure hose or a hole in that hose. It is an easy fix with no parts needed. What you do is remove the small hose that connects to the water pressure switch. Blow through it to unclog any sediment in the base of the tub. Re-attach the hose and pump out any water to allow for pressure to build once more in that tubing so them fancy lectroncs won't have a cow.

I have photos manual and directions HERE

Whirlpool Cabrio is showing a error code of F1 what does that mean?

Typically, we're going to be looking at a pressure sensor failure here, although there are a few possible culprits. There's some pretty detailed troubleshooting here:

I have the exact same F1 code problem

Primary Control Failure
F
then 1 flashes when there is a primary control failure. Replace the machine control assembly.

This was under recall last year.

Telephone Whirlpool at 1-800-253-1301. Whirlpool has acknowledged the F1 fault and will send a serviceman, free parts and labor, to correct the problem concerning the "famous" F1 fault. This is even for washers out of warranty! This concerns model WTW6600 series washers.

Tell them that your Whirlpool Cabrio washer has been receiving the F1 error code repeatedly, with the same symptoms as reported by hundreds of other customers online. You were told that there is a recall for this known defect in the control board, and are requesting that Whirlpool fix the problem including parts & labor.

Be sure to get the authorization code from them so the service person cannot argue about costs.

Basically - this is a problem (faulty chip) on the main controller board of the unit... and the entire board must be replaced with the updated version.

Give the warranty a try (even if it is out of warranty)

CLICK HERE to see the part that is going to have to be replaced.

My washer has a f1 code will not spin or wash

OK, your unit is quite unique. this unit has a integrated control design that houses the main and motor control board. both are combined on the same board. this error code represents a failed Machine and motor control board. this single control board works as the main controller and, as the motor controller as well. This board has failed in your unit and, you will need to replace this board asap if possible.
